If you have not figured it out yet, getting links to your website is a vital part of your search engine rankings according to Google. Why? The simple answer is “because they say so” So investing some time into figuring out what kind of links there are and how to get them to your website, would be time well spent. I call these “high value activities.” So we will skip that portion of the discussion and assume you know that it is important to get links to your site. An important question then becomes, “how many links?” I look at getting links as an investment in my business. The more you get the more the site is worth.
This is a good approach. Let’s say you take some time to write some articles (a great source for links by the way) and start to send them out there. Let’s say you upload them to several article directories at the same time. In the beginning this may not seem like its leading to much. After a while your articles will get picked up by webmasters and bloggers and they will put the content on their sites.
